UNSPSC 85573865: Drainage of bilateral lungs with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of bilateral lungs with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0B9M40Z

UNSPSC 85573865 Drainage of bilateral lungs with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code used by state and local health systems and government agencies to classify clinical procedures and related administrative or supportive medical services. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the procedure itself—drainage of bilateral lungs is a specific surgical intervention—and instead reflect a broader and more dispersed range of health-related procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code in the past three months cover independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited suggests the code may serve as a catchall for health-service procurements that do not fit neatly into narrower clinical-procedure classifications, or that issuing bodies are applying the code inconsistently. The issuing bodies are mixed: municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No issuer appears more than once in the recent activity block.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with a response due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (258414) had an April 9, 2026 deadline that has passed, but the source lists historical annual pharmacy spending at approximately $8.7 million. Recent activity under this code is sparse and fragmented; business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities, as the mismatch between the procedure classification and the actual work solicited suggests inconsistent application.
